  • Notes 
    • He was picked knight of the shire for Devon on multiple occasions in the 1470s and 1480s, and summoned to Parliament by writ on multiple occasions in the same decades, an unusual combination.

      Admitted to Lincoln's Inn 1456. Master of the revels there, 1456-57. Governor in 1461; elected Reader in 1464 and 1469.

      Attorney-General to Edward IV; removed from that office in 1483 by Richard III. Privy councillor to Henry VII, which probably counts as getting even.
